No Porn: No Masturbation: 30 Days

I’m signing up. I’ve been reading some articles on that YourBrainOnPorn site.

I do it like twice a week. But I do it like 3 times in a row. So I guess thats 6 times a week. Shit.
Folks, Tomorrow will be my first day! And I will use this post to update the status daily. Feel free to comment….
And feel free to sign up with me!

I didn’t think StumbleUpon had this sort of thing on it. Any way I can set it so that pornographic stuff DOESN’T randomly show up?

Keep it up everyone, remember, no matter how much you enjoy it porn is another big business product designed to make you addicted, weak, and ultimately, tame. Just like fast food and cigs. Instead of what you see, imagine some scummy, bastard pornographer counting money and laughing all the way to the bank at the weakness in us all. Stay strong!

And now some old school Chili Peppers, the song’s about drugs but the idea is the same:

@theskafish you certainly uplifted this Mofo right here man, i am the biggest fan of them Chili Peppers!
i dunno why but its been super easy for me to keep to this challenge. you guys’ll have to challenge me to jerk off in fact!
here’s something Brandon just posted earlier in another thread that might just want to make you choke your bishops y’all! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wv-34w8kGPM
haha hav fun! and good luck!

@theskafish on your stumbleupon account, you go to settings. Then on the left side you click on Stumbles. With this, you can adjust your filters so that it only allows appropriate things, r-rated things, or x-rated things. Also depending on what interests you have you can still get porn. I forgot that my regular account had x-rated material allowed, and babes as one of my interests, So when I was stumbling I kept getting a bunch of naked girls.

Haven’t been going without entirely these last couple weeks, but I’ve reduced my habit drastically, only indulging on occasion. Can’t say I’ve really seen any significant changes. Not finding it too hard, after all, so that’s a good thing.

I’m on almost 3 weeks at the moment..18 days to be exact. Few things I’ve noticed.

1: I have successfully detached myself from the computer. I really have no reason to be on the computer anymore unless I want to come by here or read up on some articles. I never realized how much time porn and just adult content in general took up.

2: I’ve always had problems with social situations, I didn’t like going out no matter what it was. My drive has returned, I am more willingly eager to go out and meet people, especially girls.

3: I took pussy off a pedestal. I was always intimidated by really hot girls so I never approached them when I had the opportunity. Porn makes these girls seem like gods and it makes them impossible to attain. More recently I have been able to have a conversation with anyone without the thought in my head about sex right away. Just two humans conversing first. During one weekend I got 4 phone numbers from girls that are 10s in my eyes. One of which have started talking frequently. I don’t feel nervous anymore.

4: I used to get a lot of spontaneous erections immediately after thinking of something sexual but now it seems as if I can control this a lot easier and keep it down until needed.

5: I can stare into people’s eyes when talking to them now.

I have done this challenge before but it was at a time when I wasn’t going through a spiritual change myself so it didn’t have much of an impact as it is now. All my porn has been blocked off my internet and I don’t have the password so I am going to keep at it. I feel a lot better now.

I’ve done this. It will open you up (especially males) to a different type of sexual experience. Needing porn or needing the images (even when away from porn) to reach climax isn’t allowing for the full expression of your sexuality. I’ve had wonderful results eliminating it and it increased an awareness of desire, arousal, and improved my relationship ten-fold. Because male sexuality is so hard-wired it can be easy to get a ‘fix’ rather than save that energy, treat it as an entity, and share it in the healthiest way with another.

at first trial i lasted 11+half days. and now in the second trial today is my 3.day i however do not feel discouraged because of 11day lasting in first trial. and i actually do feel the testosterone making me someone somewhat different in a better way and i feel energized.

Wow, I must say after reading this thread and Your Brain On Porn for the past two and a half hours and all the testimonials, I feel like this challenge shouldn’t have a timeframe of only thirty days! Amazing. I’m starting it now.

@isaac – Old sperm simply gets re-absorbed back into your body. There is no biological “need” to let one off.

@jonathan – “male sexuality is so hard-wired it can be easy to get a ‘fix’ rather than save that energy, treat it as an entity, and share it in the healthiest way with another” Very well said my brother!

Almost tripped up myself yesterday, but managed to find distractions enough to keep me busy. Woot!

14 days in, 30 cumshots saved aha.
Feel great, i think someone above said the charm of porn dies, but i never used to watch that shady fake model porn anyways, used to dig that homemade kind of stuff but yea no appeal left anymore.also my skin seem to clear up i always used to have a horrible breakout on my forehead which seems to heal.
But yea been horny as usual,morning woodies are great,amd fun to edge sometimes during the day ie stroking without ejaculating.
Recently read an article somewhere that edging has the same drawbacks like still produces lot of dopamine,coristol etc now that would suck.
Any longterm edgers here? Whats your opinion
